Georgia Toffolo will not return to the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ jungle to crown the next champion.
Although the reigning Queen of the Jungle will be flying out to Australia to shoot short spin-off show ‘Extra Camp’ this week she intends to return to the UK shortly after and has "no plans to go back" to personally pass on the crown to this year’s winner.
A source told the Mail Online: "There’s still about another week of the show left after she returns. And there aren’t plans for her to go back again. This means she won’t be there to personally crown whoever wins this current season."
Another insider explained that the reality show has not actually broken tradition as they claim to have "never specifically" had a winner come back to Australia to crown the new winner and say the last few times have been purely coincidental.
The insider told The Sun Online: "Since the show began in 2002 it’s never been part of the main show to have the previous winner specifically come back to Australia and hand over to new King/Queen.
"It only happened the past two years because Scarlett [Moffatt] and Vicki [Pattison] were already presenters of the spin-off show.
"ITV2 used to have the previous year’s winner on their show for the final so Foggy [Carl Fogarty] and Charlie [Brooks] were there and also handed over the crown.
"ITV2 hasn’t had celebrity guests for their final show for quite a few years now."
Despite the absence from the final, Georgia still boasts strong ties with the show and is currently one of the ‘I’m a Celebrity’ reporters on ITV’s ‘This Morning’.
